Well...I'm pretty sure I will...ish. It's just a matter of if I get my top pick(s).
This is so stressful. I always sink into this unsure, depression state after I audition for plays where I get this feeling like I did something horribly wrong.
So naturally, I'm doing the healthy thing this time and releasing them here. Sorry.
So....miniature rant.
The comedic play I really, REALLY want to get cast in...is a fairly big cast. Two of my good friends also got called back for it. It's written by another friend of mine. But....my two friends were doing a scene together, and, well...they made a rather exciting choice for a scene, which sent us all into hysterics. No lie, it was funny. Really funny.
But it was the VERY scene I'd wanted to do. And I was convinced I could do something different, but just as awesome.
So Friend #1 sits down and says to Friend #2: "I'm SO hoping we get cast for that together, that would be awesome."
Friend #2 says to ME: "I am going to go all the way on (particular stage direction) for whoever I do that scene next with." (I WAS PLANNING ON DOING THAT ALREADY.)
And I'm over here, like:
Well, that never got to happen. They finished with the scenes for that play, and Friend #2 left.
MEANWHILE.
Friend #1 is talking to the writer of this play, and was all, "SO DID YOU LIKE ME AND FRIEND #2'S LITTLE THING WE DID THERE. WASN'T IT HILARIOUS?!"
I was inwardly seething, thinking,
AND I REALLY HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO KILL SOMEONE LATER IF THESE CASTINGS WORK OUT WEIRDLY.
So...all this is to say that Friend #1 was REALLY good in the other, dramatic play. I think that that play needs Friend #1.
But the comedy?
They'll be fine.
(Author's note-later: I got cast in my second choice play. Friend #1 and Friend #2 are in a play together-of course-but it's not this play to which I was referring in this play. I also talked to Friend #1 about my annoyance and it's (mostly) all good now. But let that happyish ending not distract from the greatness and sheer wit of this post.)
